    My wife hates watching “All in the Family”, because she hates Archie.

    I love watching “All in the Family”, because I hate Archie. He consistently gets put in his place and gets taught a lesson. He’s still crass and rude and xenophobic and racist and sexist…and that’s the point.

    People like that can’t be fixed, but we can sure enjoy laughing at them and showing them how they are wrong. That’s why I love the show.

    No wonder Reiner died due to “complications of TDS”, as our wonderful President put it. That asshole (the president) is practically a modern reflection of Archie Bunker, just also sundowning.
